What is official for GNU project is on the GNU website, in the GNU manuals and other documentation. Though, that is not the subject of this thread. You have said your opinion though you did not mention not even one legal reference to the questions about licensing compliance that I have mentioned. So I keep it as your differing opinion though without references to legalities I do not find it relevant. Julia Reda's opinion I find relevant, and I found it online. I wish I could find it as answer on this mailing list sooner than online, but it is not so. > And yet you draw conclusions from it about how GNU and Emacs should > behave about this technology? How does that make sense? I never said so, that is misunderstanding. Once again, my question related GPL licensing compliance is relevant to GNU project, and to GPL licensed software authors. Licensing is legality. It is not related to technological parts. I have never mentioned technology and how GNU and Emacs should behave. In the thread of Pen.el subject I wanted to find out how is compliance to licenses solved. Don't make fuss about the simple questions. Maybe is better to wait and let maybe somebody else jump in and answer it. You seem to personally chase me that I stop asking questions? It does not really seem welcoming, it seems like I did something bad to you and you are pushing with force to stop me asking such simple banal question. We talk about GPL licensing compliance for years in various GNU related discussion within GNU project and without GNU project. I was asking German companies about licensing compliance to GNU GPL software and had such a nice conversation with them and they agreed to comply to it, and provided sources. You please make it easy, as I am asking logical question, don't call me radical as that has negative connotations. > > Legality of AI generated code and "free use" doctrine in the US is at > > this point of development yet far from functioning well > > internationally. > > Which, to me, says that we should carefully examine this issue by > ourselves, not draw any premature conclusions from the hoop-la out > there. Remember that it was me who first responded to original poster and installed pen.el and tried to run it, at that time I did not have the OpenAI key, but now I have it. >From that, it should be obvious that I am interested in the technology. Without even looking online (due to my limited Internet) I have asked about licensing compliance, there was no answer until I found it today from online sources. That question is related to adopting the technology, not to rejecting it. If you wish to adopt anything into private use one has to have permissions, or in this case "fair use" exemption granted by US government. It should be obvious that I have referenced legal advisors, attorneys who made that document, including Julia Reda, known as activist in Germany, and it was me who found references and listed it here. Beside those really deficient expressions, if you have a constructive references on how how each jurisdiction would accept "fair use" let me know, otherwise leave this discussion in peace and myself. Stay on subject, don't call me words as me and you didn't graze the sheep together. Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
